[@rogerw1521]

Congrats you did great! Also happy to hear you gained points from the tournament

[@Galahad54]

I called this opening the Queen's Bongcloud, after a certain miniseries. It's obviously best, but a bit stressful to play in a serious tournament. Great recovery from a challenging (bad) position, and using your speed (time trouble) skills to flip the position. I'd like to see the Queen's Bongcloud more often, but I think this particular move sequence isn't the best way to get there, You do very well in unclear (knife-edge) positions, which makes for good content, especially when your mom is commenting. Fun! Great tournament result.

[@BruceNewhouse]

Anna sees an opening she didn’t expect and the she gets the eyeglasses out, showing she is serious.

[@toriless]

It is her tell, she should avoid playing poker.

[@Chesstacular]

way to go Anna, congratulations !

[@NotTheUnsub]

Congratulations Anna! You had a really good tournament! During the opening I had the flashback too thinking is Linda going to try and use the same opening that Alex did against you? Nice that you mixed things up a bit to keep your opponent guessing. When your mom apologized to everyone in chat declaring that you were going to lose 😒, I did think that Linda would later make a blunder, which she did. I think that sometimes your mom doesn't remember that your opponents aren't as strong as your mom in spotting all the best moves. During the game, I was hoping you'd shoot for the checkmate. But looking back, I'm glad that you went the practical way to win with an up material endgame. Safe and steady was the way to go. Your Kd2 move is a sweet move! Thank you for all the effort you put into your games and recaps and best wishes on the next tournament.

[@di380]

Congratulations 🎉🎉 You played a phenomenal tournament and got 3rd place(gained some elo in the process) against really strong competition. You showed how strong you really are at chess and you were able to beat 1 WGM and drew with the other one

[@jordanmcmorris5248]

I analysed the knight sac she missed. There are probably a dozen lines black can go into leading to dozens more and white has to play them accurately to not lose. They lead into checkmates but they are very counter intuitive and long lines. It would be impossible to calculate them before hand

[@joshc3326]

That's almost every move.

[@GamerdevilPro]

It's so fun to watch you play! Love the energy :)

[@almightyhydra]

Nice game again Anna. Wanted to say I really enjoyed this recap format, I'm guessing it takes a ton of effort to do all the cuts for each move, but even without that, your style of narration and explaining clearly is great, along with slipping in funny clips from the stream :)

[@christiaanterveen4633]

Congratulations. King D2 made me think of Hammer immediately because of the King D7 Hammer-Leela-Nimzo distraction. Awesome that he did the commentary on that and you included it.
